Biography

Philip (sometimes Phillip) was the son of Pierce and Katherine Noland. He married Bridget and they had five children.^[1]

He married Bridgett around 1715.^[2]

Philip died in Prince William County in 1733. His heirs were recorded in a land sale:^[3]

• Peter and wife Ann
• Philip and Elizabeth
• Pierce and Sary
• Paul and
• Mary.

Wife Bridgett

General agreement that his wife's name was Bridget, and the consensus is that she was a Carrol (Carroll-5188). Elizabeth Noland, his sister, is said to have married Nicholas Carroll.

Prince William County records (page 48) include "Philip Nolands Estate, [? Acct or deced] aft 1733."^[4] On page 49:

In a court held for Prince William County on 18 June 1735, "Bridget Noland presented into Court this Account against the Estate of Philip Noland Decd which was read and she making Oath thereto the Same was allowed and ordered to be Recorded."^[4]

Son Philip

J. Lynn Noland, in Milesian Mountaineers (p 102), discusses that because Pierce and Katherine's son Philip appears in Maryland records by 1692, the immigrant Philip may not have been a brother of the immigrant Pierce (Noland-67), but his oldest son: if adult by 1692, Philip was born before 1671 (although that makes Pierce and Katherine parents at about age 15, according to their birth dates in WikiTree). If born before his father immigrated (believed to be between 1675 and 1680, possibly landing first in Canada, and found in Maryland records in 1686), then he could be the Philip recorded as landing in Maryland in 1677 (currently shown as Pierce's brother, son of Pierce Sr, and shown by some researchers to have married Bridget Nelson).

J. Lynn Noland surmises that Philip was of age in 1692, stating "This probability is based upon the assumption that his mother would not resort to a legal document to give a calf to a minor." (p 102)

1692-1693 court records in Charles County, Maryland establish that Philip is the son of Katherine, who is wife of Pierce Noland, tailor, of Charles County:^[5]

"Other Charles County documents (Liber S.No. 1, pp. 53-54, dated March 14, 1692) indicate that Pierce Noland's wife was name 'Katherine'. Again these are court records which show that 'Thomas Lewgar, late of Charles County, laborer, and Katherine Noeland, wife of Pierce Noeland, Taylor. . . .accused of stealing'. Lewgar was convicted and 'Katherine Noeland' was found not guilty." . . .

""A recorded sale dated October 19, 1692 shows that Lewgar . . . is selling 'to Ketherine Noeland. . . .one red heirfer with a star in her forehead'. A January 30, 1693 entry state 'which said heifer Catherine do assign over to her son Philip Noland to him and his heir'.³¹"

Charles County, Maryland

WikiTree has (as of 11 November 2019) two categories for Charles County, Maryland. One from 1776 to present (Charles County, Maryland) and one from 1658-1776 (Charles County, Province of Maryland). The Charles County established in 1658 is, for the most part, the one that exists today^[6][7]There was, however, an earlier Charles County - formed from St. Mary's County in 1650 and abolished in 1654.^[8] Based on the dates, it is likely the Nolands were in the Charles County formed in 1658 from Potomac County, which borders Virginia, rather than the Charles County that existed for less than 5 years, which did not.^[8]

Disputed Information

Birth

- in Ireland by 1671^[9]

- in Stafford County, Virginia in 1684.^[12][13]

- in Stafford County in 1685^[14]

Mother

- Katherine (unknown) (generally accepted by most Noland resarchers)^[5]

- Elizabeth Darrell^[14][15]

- Katherine Hagaman, married 1680^[12]

Research Notes

DNA: For this profile, I believe triangulation is required for "Confirmation by DNA" (see Help:DNA_Confirmation for specifics).

David Roberds posted DNA information to this profile 2 February 2021 (see this G2G discussion about the original posting). I compared his DNA and my Dad's (using GEDmatch) :

• Comparing Kit A166357 (David Roberds) [Migration - F2 - A] and Kit T479362 (Henry Peyton Noland) [Migration - F2 - F]
• with the result: "No shared DNA segments found".

David's post included the information that Philip Noland and Bridget Carroll were his and "dormills1 his eighth cousin"'s most recent common ancestors: "Predicted relationship from AncestryDNA: 5th-8th Cousins, based on sharing 11 cM across 1 segments."

Hilliards: "it appears Hilliard Y may actually be Noland Y" (private correspondence with Robert Moore, 2019).

• Kenny Hilliard "is a match to five descendants of Pierce Noland, at Y-111" and "matches several Pierce Noland descendants with autosomal DNA as well... you and your father included."
• Edwin Hilliard...

"My guess at this point is that Pierce or his brother, Thomas... or one of their sons, may have had an illegitimate son with a Hillyard woman. I do know that Thomas and a Hillyard family both lived in Anne Arundel County, Maryland at the same time, in the 1600s." ~ Robert Moore, August 2019

UPDATE 8/27/2019 (posted on William Noland's profile): Based on Y DNA results of Kenny Hilliard, it is possible Amos Hillyard (1760-1850) was an illegitimate son of William Noland of Berkeley County, (W) Virginia. His closest Y match is a descendant of William Noland, and is a genetic distance of 3. Kenny also matches four other descendants of Pierce Noland, one at a genetic distance of 7, and three at a genetic distance of 8. In addition to the Y DNA matches, Kenny Hilliard also shows strong autosomal DNA matches, with the most significant matches on Chromosome 3 (the longest cM being 28.16, and matching 7,700 SNPs).

• Amos Hilliard (1760-1850), possibly son of William Noland and an unknown Hilliard mother.

Both Hilliard test-takers are "the Hillyard/Hilliard line in the Shenandoah Valley [which] is definitely Noland." ~ Robert Moore, Jan. 2020

William Noland (Noland-143): Henry Noland's DNA (FTDNA yDNA test) matched with yDNA from someone descended from William Noland, son of Pierce, born ca 1628 in Ireland.
